<Many posters here have expressed that it just doesn't matter - to just strive to find a competent, empathetic T., no matter the gender.>
I think that's true, having had one male and one female T. My feelings for my female T weren't as strong, but I was only with her half as long. But both my Ts were so very good at emotional holding, and after my 2nd or 3rd session with my female T (after the bad termination with male T) I remember feeling comforted and at peace because it felt like male T was with me all over again.
Pinkeye, what does a "successful" termination look like? No scars, no pain? Not that yours was a "good" termination, but I don't think it's possible to terminate with a T, male or female, and not have pain. Some people do it. I don't know how they do.
